== Biography ==
Smith's early interest in music was sparked by singing in the local church choir, the "seat-rattling sound" of the church's pipe organ, and accompanying his parents to country-western dances. By the third grade, he had a guitar and a teacher who taught him how to play every song on Neil Young's ''Harvest'' and ''After the Gold Rush''. Smith began writing his own songs at age ten. In 1976, after his family moved to Humble, Texas, in the Houston suburbs, Smith spent his teen years listening to Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, and Bob Dylan.〔 His musical influences expanded when he moved to Austin to attend The University of Texas and was exposed to blues and reggae, as well as musicians coming out of the United Kingdom such as Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, and The Pretenders.〔"Darden Smith: Biography," Sean Sessler http://www.last.fm/music/Darden+Smith/+wiki Last FM (April 27, 2006). Accessed May 1, 2013.〕 Smith quickly got involved with Austin's burgeoning music scene, playing in small Austin venues like the Alamo Lounge, Taco Flats, and Waterloo Ice House. He joined a bluegrass band called The Ramblers. By the time Smith graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies (1985), he was a regular on the local and Texas music scenes.〔 He has one son and one daughter. 〔http://www.thebluegrasssituation.com/read/conversations-darden-smith〕
